For your consideration and discussion
Are these the Lamentations you were talking about?

Can Protestants attend? We tend to gloss over the literature of the Old Testament, admittedly. Sounds like a wonderful service.
This does sound interesting. I will enquire if my local parishes have such a service.
of course Protestants can attend. As the article says, more congregations are picking this up. It sounds so inspiring.
I especially liked the one candle being brought back into the sanctuary, representing the coming of Jesus Christ, the true Light!
You guys have about a thousand-and-a-half years on us in spiritual tradition and ceremony. That rocks.
Thank you. As a Catholic for 50 years, I've never heard of this service. It sounds impressive.
I don't know...they've been doing them on Fridays all through lent, but I haven't made them yet...sigh
Episcopal/Anglican churches also have this service on the Wednesday of Holy Week. It's very moving and very beautiful.
In Orthodoxy we chant the Lamentations on Great Friday evening as part of the Matins for Great Saturday by anticipation.
Light in ?????
Excellent post. Thank you, Salvation.
Thank you.
Does your church celebrate this darkness to one light evening?
darkness. Light in Darkness.
Our Tenebrae service is on Good Friday evening. We will be attending this year.
A friend has invited me to attend a Tenebrae service on the evening of Palm Sunday at St. Mary of the Assumption Church in Waterford.
